Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves the fifth amendment to a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to the Metropolitan Board of Health, previous approved by Resolution Nos. RS2023-2050, RS2023-2175, and RS2023-144. This grant is used to provide for the prevention, surveillance, diagnosis, and treatment of HIV/AIDS and to administer a Minority AIDS Initiative program.
Amendment one corrected the end date of the grant from February 28, 2024, to February 29, 2024. Amendment two obligated partial funding for the next grant cycle of $3,854,666 to the previous grant award of $811,526 for a new grant total of $4,666,192.
Amendment three removed the requirement of a report due within 30 days of the issuance of the notice of award for amendment one. Amendment four approved a carryover of an unobligated balance of $604,847 from the previous FY2022 grant period to the current FY2023 grant period. This increased the total grant amount from $4,666,865 to $5,271,039.
The amendment under consideration would de-obligate $648,174 in grant funding for Fiscal Year 2023. The funding would be reduced from $5,271,039 to $4,622,865. This would allow this funding to carry over to Fiscal Year 2024. The Metropolitan Council will consider this re-obligation through Resolution No. RS2024-782.
